Hope
you all had a Merry Christmas. We missed you.
When
we went to breakfast on Dad’s birthday he wasn’t wearing his hearing aids. He
said it was because his ears were bothering him. Tom tried to call his ear
doctor from the restaurant, but she was gone for the holiday. Dad seemed a
little down and we attributed it to him not being able to take part in any
conversations.
That
night at his house, he again looked a little down. The house was nice and
festive and he had the dinner going. You all spoke with him and probably
noticed he was distracted.
On
Christmas morning Tom called and said Dad ears were bothering him so much he
really didn’t want to come over. Tom convinced him to go to emergency were they
diagnosed an ear infection and prescribed some antibiotics. Dad did go over to
Tom’s for a good Christmas meal. Dad will see his regular ear doctor on
Tuesday. I haven’t spoken with Tom or Dad and I don’t know if he is feeling
better today.
We
have plans to have Dad’s anemia and kidneys checked in January. We’re not sure
what options will be available, but we need to get a status update. We will do
our best to keep you updated.
Love you all,
John
